Family-Friendly Skiing with Big Mountain Views

Mt. Hutt offers one of the most accessible and welcoming family snow experiences in New Zealand. The wide, open terrain is perfect for beginners, with gentle slopes and a fantastic ski school that keeps kids entertained while building their skills. Parents can enjoy panoramic South Island views while taking a few runs of their own or joining the little ones on the learners' area.

With fewer crowds than bigger resorts, Mt. Hutt creates a relaxed and supportive vibe ideal for first-time snow-goers. The base facilities are well equipped, and rental gear is easy to organise on site. Just 90 minutes from Christchurch, it’s close enough for convenience and far enough to feel like a real alpine escape.
